Returning to London
As they waited for their coffee and cheese toasties they carried on talking.
"So, Ianto started, "what made you work for Torchwood and why in Cardiff and not London?"
Owen bristled slightly at the question before he said "What makes you think I didn't work in London before going to Cardiff ?"
"Well I never saw you there or heard anyone mention your name. I'm sure I would've remembered. Plus we had a whole medical team and you were definitely not on it. So come on spill, how did you end up working for Jack in Cardiff ?" Ianto looked at him questioningly.
Owen looked away from Ianto and said quietly "Katie."
"Katie?" Ianto asked as a waitress came over with their lunch. "Who's Katie?"
Owen stared out the window for another few minutes before turning back and looking at Ianto with tears in his eyes "Katie was my fiancée."
Ianto stared at him "Oh God Owen I'm sor..."
"Just don't. Lets just say that London doesn't hold good memories for me either and you're not the only one to loose your girlfriend to aliens." Owen said picking up his sandwich and taking a bite.
"We make a right pair, don't we." said Ianto
"So come on then spill the beans about you and The Captain then. What's it like having him back?" Owen asked changing the subject.
"Nothing to tell." He replied trying not to look embarrassed.
"There must be. You trying to tell me you two aren't at it again?" Smirked Owen.
"Thats exactly what I'm saying. We're not so there's nothing to tell. " Ianto admitted.
"But we all thought...." Owen stuttered.
"Yes I know what you all thought, Owen. " Ianto said angrily.
"So why don't you want to go back to Jack?" Asked Owen.
Ianto looked up sadly and said "Because he broke my heart when he left and I won't put myself through that again if he decides not to stay. You know how bad I was; do you really think I could go through that again? I will always love him, but I can't be with him."
"No I wouldn't want to see you go through that again, once was enough. Although I have to say you are really funny when you are totally pissed." Laughed Owen.
"Yes ok thanks for reminding me what a prat I was. Anyway we can't put this off any longer. I've calmed down now so we should get back to the job that we're here for." Ianto said getting up and putting on his coat.
"Ok I'll go and pay. " Said Owen standing up and making his way to the cash desk.
As they walked back to the Unit facility Ianto said "Thanks for listening to me Owen I think it helped, oh and thanks for lunch."
"That's ok I am your doctor after all. If you start feeling panicky let me know and we'll stop until it's over. And seeing as I bought you lunch you can buy dinner when we get back to Cardiff." Said Owen.
"Ok Dr. Harper." Ianto smirked.
As they walked enjoying the sunshine and talking they found out that they both loved to play chess as they passed a couple of old men playing outside a café. Ianto also found out that Owen liked Rugby, even if he did support England and not Wales, at least it wasn't Scotland Ianto thought. All too soon they were back at the facility and Owen noticed that Ianto had gone quiet again.
